The authors of this oral rehabilitation text advocate the controversial Twin-Stage Procedure which they discovered, explaining that it provides the means to control the amount of dissocclusion that average doctors using previous procedures have been unable to control. The results of the Twin-Stage Procedure produce precise dissoclusion without the measurement of condylar path, and follow gnathological principles of scientifically-supported patient treatment. Topics include the articulator, the Twin-Stage Procedure, clinical evaluation test, full mouth reconstruction, fixed restorations and occlusal adjustment, and occlusion for osseointegrated implants. Contains mathematical formulae for analyzing mandibular movement. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Osseointegration and Dental Implants offers a comprehensive guide to the state of the art of implant dentistry. Based around the proceedings of the Toronto Osseointegration Conference Revisited, it gathers together information on all aspects of implant dentistry and osseointegration, from basic scientific background, such as the biology of osseointegration and the biomechanics of implant surface design, to clinical relevance, such as treatment planning, loading protocols, and patient rehabilitation. This unique book shows implant dentistry as it is today, in all its diverse clinical applications, and provides an expert discussion of what we know, what we think we know, and what we need to find out.

Dr. Hamid Shafie’s Clinical and Laboratory Manual of Implant Overdentures is a ground-breaking guide to this popular and effective treatment modality, which is increasingly seen as the standard of care for the fully edentulous patient.
